Debian on HP Thin Client T5335z

In a way. But it is actually not that significant. amrhf and armel are both 32 bit. So their ABIs look the same to the kernel.

I would do upgrade to make it secured, but not needed to go to Debian 9.x for a rescue system. And then do cleanup to remove the cache to get it back to ~400MB.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get clean

This does not matter. The kernel does not use hard float. So when you run armel or armhf kernel it is practically the same kernel as far as Debian is concern.

When both architectures are in the rootfs, and you upgrade a package, it will be relevant which one is the native architecture, because you will pull from that distribution first.

For a main system rootfs (not rescue system), I would set native architecture to armhf and then when hard float is needed for a particular package, I would make sure that package is armhf (by doing apt-get install again). That way all existing armel packages can still be used normally until it got replaced.

Thanks for your help bodhi. I've copied the 'hybrid' USB system to the internal memory. Next I've set the following additional uboot environment variables.

set_recovargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 ${mtdparts} splash quiet earlyprintk=serial
bootcmd_recov=ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x2000000 /boot/uImage; ext2load ide 0:1 0x3000000 /boot/uInitrd
recovery=run set_recovargs; run bootcmd_recov; bootm 0x2000000 0x3000000
bootcmd=run bootcmd_exec; run recovery

Now the device boots normal Debian stretch on the USB stick when it is present and 'hybrid' Debian jessie from the internal memory when there is no USB stick plugged in.

I would use the rootfs label here to make it more resilient. I think it is ROOT. But you can relabel it, and also chnage the rescue system hostname to something unique.

set_recovargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 ${mtdparts} splash quiet earlyprintk=serial

Hi bodhi,

thanks for the advice. The thinpro setup uses root=/dev/sda1 so that 's why I set it up like that. However I've now changed the label and used the same configuration as booting from USB stick to keep things consistent. I did already change the hostname of the rescue system such that it is easy to see in my router settings which system is running. This should now be quite a reliable system with easy recovery option so I'm happy to hide the serial connection wires in the case and start using it as a replacement of my pogo E02.

Well I’ve tried a bunch of different things to get Xorg going -but no success. Is it accurate to say we need the xserver-Xorg-video-armada pkg to accompany the armada module in kernel? Would it be possible to default back to the dovefb so at least x can start? Vesa fbdev modesetting all report “no screens found”

I have not given this box display any thought so don't have any idea yet.

Perhaps in a next few weeks, don't know. Self isolation will likely create a lot of free time :)

FYI,

I will revisit the display support for this box in a couple weeks.

-bodhi
===========================
Forum Wiki
bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

This updated instruction reflects the latest kernel and rootfs.

================

Here is how to boot Debian on the HP T5335z.

1. On another Linux box. Download Debian-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (or latest rootfs) from the release thread, create the USB rootfs (or use your existing MVEBU rootfs if you have one before for other boxes).

2. Create uImage with DTB appended (assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/rootfs).

cd /media/rootfs/boot
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/dove-hp-t5335z.dtb >> zImage.fdt 
mv uImage uImage.bak
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync

3. Boot

a. Unmount and remove the USB drive and attach it to the T5335z.
b. Power up and interrupt serial console.

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 ${mtdparts} earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x2000000 /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x3000000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv bootcmd_exec 'run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x2000000 0x3000000'
run bootcmd_exec

4. (Deprecated).

5. To make it permannently boot into Debian rootfs on USB:

5.a Repeat Step 3 and save the envs in serial console:

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 ${mtdparts} earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x2000000 /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x3000000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv bootcmd_exec 'run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x2000000 0x3000000'
run bootcmd_exec
saveenv

5.b Deprecated - Warning: The SPI flash envs is broken in the latest kernel (as of 27 Sep 2024). It's possible that it was broken long ago too, and I have not used fw_setenv on this box for a long time. So when changing u-boot envs, it must be done in serial console. fw_setenv in Debian will corrupt the flash envs space.


================

Update Nov 27, 2021

Please see this post for u-boot and u-boot envs images dump:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,66989,127769#msg-127769

These mtd0 and mtd1 dumps can be used to restore your box if it is messed up somehow. But these can only be flashed in either serial console or at Linux shell. UART booting with kwboot for this box is not possible, yet. So the safe way to install Debian on this box is still the instruction above.

IOW, don't fash these images as a quicker installation method, until there is a test done by me or other users.

Hi, I have trouble locating the connector for the serial console on my t5335z.
I see two connector, a micro-jst 5 pin and 4-pin.
The 4-pin one resembles a micro-jst, but it has not exactly the same form factor.

I was able to connect to the 4 pin connector somehow, but no serial console output can be detetcted. So my doubt: is this the right point where to connect?

Can it be that my t5335z has no pre-soldered 4pin micro jst for serial console communication?

A picture to locate the right point on the motherboard would help.

Thanks a lot.

Gyan,

I don't have a picture for it right now (probably somebody else took that). But I recorded the pinouts.

Ignore the color, the color marking was just from the microJST connector wires I used (I always do this so I can tell which wire is which after I put the case back).

(Reading from left to righ, from inside the case facing outward). So that is GND, RXD, TXD, 3.3V.

Left-Right, Inside facing out.  

MicroJST header

1. Green:  GND
2. Yellow: RxD
3. Black: TxD
4. N/A:  3.3V

The serial converter module you use will determine whether you need to cross connect TXD to RXD, RXD to TXD. Most new converter modules require cross connection. But some older CP2xxx converter modules were already crossed. So try swaping these 2 wires if you don't see any output.

If you still have trouble, post what type of serial converter module you use.

Hi bodhi, thanks for you fast response.
I am using a converter with an FDI 1948-c rtc2326a chip.

Crossing or not TX and RX did not produce any change.
The converter itself works (tested it by shorting TX and rx, printout on my terminal was ok).

I have doubts on the electrical connection (had to cut a microjst conmector to make it fit to the one the board). I wonder whethwr it's best to just solder some wires from the motherboard, in the correct spots (which ones I am not sure).

Anyway, the connector I am working on is located on the west side of the board (south is the front part of the thin client, where the power button is)

Gyan,

Found the pic (from someone's post way back) that I saved.

Hi bodhi,

Looks like that connector is not present on my unit's board (the one I mentioned is in a different position and has a slightly different shape, although still a 4-pin one).

I could find it on a t5325 unit, close to the speaker, but not on my t5335z - might be a motherboard revision with respect to your unit.

Thanks
Gyan

Hey Gyan,

If I have a moment tomorrow, I will open the case and take the full pic for the board. That small picture was not quite clear, Only the the full view of the board would tell if you have a different version. As I recalled there is a 4-pin microJST header. But I don't recall exactly if I used a male header or just wires.

Do you happen to know which are the credentials to get into the stock OS?

Hi bodhi,

I managed to get the boot process to start by following the latest steps you posted in this thread.
The machine is not able to boot the kernel and outputs the following message:

Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

ALERT! LABEL=rootfs does not exist.

Any idea how I could solve this?

Thanks,

My bad: I forgot to give the label "rootfs" to the USB drive partition.

Hi bodhi,

Did you ever manage to get graphics working for the t5335z?

I tried to install the driver xserver-xorg-video-armada (can be found on github), but no results so far.

-Gyan

Gyan,

> Did you ever manage to get graphics working for

Not yet! this is the last item on the list for this T5335z and Wyse T10/T50.

My latest kernel build was already configured to use Dove DRM (Direct Rendering Manager). But I have not tried very hard to get this working. The old frame buffer graphics driver (similar to one in stock) is no longer usable, so we would have to try to make DRM works.

(Forum member) Koen and I tried a little bit in the past but I did not have a monitor to test with this (now I do but don't have time to do testing).

Perhaps you could continue the testing? Plug in a monitor, and power on. Let it boot, capture serial consle log and post here.

I want to see if the LCD is detected by the kernel. And I might need to look at the stock u-boot source again to see how the LCD was power up in stock.
